Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. What should patients with Tourette syndrome pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Patients with Tourette syndrome need to use medication under the guidance of a doctor in a standardized manner. They should avoid excessive focus on symptoms of guilt and prevent the recurrence of colds and other illnesses. During medication, it is important to regularly monitor liver and kidney function, blood tests, and electrocardiograms to understand the physical condition. Patients should not change or adjust medication independently to avoid triggering a relapse of the condition.
